LESSON 30 – INTERSECTION OF LINESSeptember 10, 2013Fernando Morales
LEARNING GOALS Recognize
geometrically intersection of lines in two-space and three-space
Solve for the point of intersection of lines in various different ways
Derive the formula for measuring the shortest distance between skew lines
PEER INSTRUCTION Given a system of linear equations in two-
space, how many types of solutions are possible? Explain.
[K, C] The direction vectors of two lines in three-
space are not parallel. Does this indicate that the lines intersect? Explain.
[A, C] How can you tell if two lines are in three-
space are skew? Use examples to explain. [A, C]
LINEAR SYSTEMS IN 2D (P.463)
Two Distinct LinesUnique pair of numbersExactly one solution or
intersection
LINEAR SYSTEMS IN 2D (P.463)
Two Coincident Lines0x = 0 or 0y = 0Infinite number of solutions or
intersections
LINEAR SYSTEMS IN 2D (P.463)
Two distinct but parallel lines0x = 2 or 0y = 1No solutions

LINEAR SYSTEMS IN 3D (P.465)
SKEW LINES
• Direction Vectors are non-parallel • No
intersection = No solution
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO SKEW LINES (P. 468)
• Shortest Distance• Common Perpendicular• Use Projection
